Shirley Heights Lookout is a restaurant and bar on a restored military lookout and gun battery at English Harbour, Antigua, rated 4.3 from 22 Google reviews. The website says it sits about 490 feet above sea level, with views over English and Falmouth Harbours, and that the view is especially striking at sunset and in the early evening. The menu on the website includes fish, veggie and chicken burgers, chicken and ribs, a combo plate, surf and turf, hot dogs, corn on the cob, pecan pie and cheesecake, and rice and peas. The lookout is known for its weekly party.
A hilltop restaurant with a view is judged on the view as much as the food, so arriving before sunset gives the best seats. Grills and burgers are best eaten hot, and a plate of ribs suits a group that likes to share. Weekly parties draw big crowds, so it helps to plan transport and leave time to find parking. Regulars often bring a light layer, as the breeze can be cooler once the sun goes down.
Shirley Heights Lookout suits visitors to English Harbour who want a sunset meal with views of the harbour.
